1978: Yale defeated Boston University, 7-5, at Ingalls Rink to end the Terriers' 22-game winning streak going back to the NCAA consolation game the previous season and bringing the Terriers quest for a perfect season to an end. Tied at 3 entering the third period Mark Fidler gave BU the lead at 2:06 when he put the puck into the net over the shoulder of Mark Rodrigues. Less than a minute later the Terriers went on the powerplay but it was the Eli who scored when Don Blue scored shorthanded at 3:36 when he put his own rebound past Brian Durocher. The game remained tied until 4:57 was left in the period when Yale defenseman Kirk Bransfield put a 35-foot wrist shot past Durocher. Dave Harrington tipped in a Bill Conway pass seven seconds later to increase the Yale lead to 6-4. Anders Carlsson scored soon after to give the Eli a 3-goal cushion before John Bethel scored a last minute goal for the 7-5 final.
